Skinny Dipping - one of the great summer treats

(As posted on Freeballing.com) I did skinny dipping for the first time this summer, and it was awesome... being in the water and at the beach nude. Most everyone else was nude also so it was no big deal.

It may not be a big deal as far as flashing goes, but it's still a great thing to be nude and enjoying the Skinny dipping at San Onofre (see pic at right) -- that's the whole point of skinny dipping. I try to do that all summer long and whenever I can any time. I love getting out to Black's Beach in San Diego, Baker Beach in San Francisco, Russian River at Guerneville (CA) and San Onofre State Beach (just south of Orange County (CA) on I-5 (one hour north of San Diego). I had fun there in Feb-March and met up at Black's Beach with one of my flasher buddies from the Net. (See his photo at left below).surf and sand -

Of course, it's more thrilling to try to get naked (with or without the swimming) at the pool, or jacuzzi, or the beach or anywhere that nudity isn't expected.

I used to teach at a school (K-12) that had a pool. Since I had a key to the locker room (with access to the pool), I would sometimes go late at night and swim naked in the pool. I found out later on that one of male teacher had done the same but got caught and in trouble. Eventually, they beefed up security and put a stop to all late night swimming (changed locks).

Sometimes, it's possible to get naked in a hotel pool or jacuzzi when not many people are around. At other times, I've tried going completely naked from my tent to the campground toilet / shower - at night of course - while camping. Have stripped and gone skinny dipping at many places - public parks, state and national parks - Yosemite has some (cold water freezes your balls!) great places for that. The Big Island (actually part of all the islands of Hawaii) have many beaches where it's possible to skinnydip without offending others. Waipio Valley - out from Honokaa in the northeastern area of the Big Island has a great place where can just see tiny figures bobbing around from their lookout point at the time.

People frequently (spontaneously - not a regular practice and probably frowned on since there are tourists (from the US mainland - Bible-belters) but once you descend the steep road down the valley entrance (on foot - of course), you can cross the fresh water river that flows into the ocean, and go to the northern (deserted) stretch of the beach. I've seen many people get naked there (including me and friends) for skinny dipping.

Kehena Black Sand Beach (Puna Coast, Big Island)

Of course, my all-time favorite place to skinnydip is Kehena Black Sand's Beach on Hawaii's Puna coast. It's not just about showing your goodies on a nude beach. It's a marvelous place where nature's splendor, the chance to swim with dolphins and see whales, mix with the convivial atmosphere of the local tradition of a hippie holiday romp on the beach - complete with all sorts of naked and semi-clothed characters - all of whom are welcoming, tolerant, and often buzzed.

 

  

  

The Big Outdoors: Nature's Call to be Nude

 

 

  

There's something definitely spiritual about the attraction for and the effect that the Great Outdoors has on the male psyche and also his libido. There are few men who do not report that they have had had the urge, and are likely to have acted upon it, to abandon their clothes and to commune with the glorious beauty of nature by getting totally nude. For some of us, it acts like an aphrodisiac.

Scenic Boys

I have previously written an article about Scenic Boys, who are a young gay couple who lead their friends on environmentally-friendly and sometimes naked, excursions in the natural splendor of the great outdoors. The Scenic Boys end of showing off their own nature male beauty as well. You can visit their video blog Scenic Boys and also find them on Facebook.

Here's another article about this very topic:

ing week. I had started out in the early chill of the day, but by noon the sun was out and the air was hot. I was concentrating on soaking up the heat, the sound of my paddle in the water, the aesthetics of the trees hanging over the banks.

One day last year I was paddling solo down a beautiful creek in the Midwest. I was scouting a route for a class I would be bringing there to follow. 

As I rounded a bend in the river, another canoe approached from behind about six feet off the port side. The person at the bow of the canoe, dressed in an old T-shirt and shorts, was happily paddling forward, completely oblivious to the person at the stern, who was dressed in ... well, nothing but a smile.

"Great day to get naked!" He shouted.

The other person laughed to himself, apparently thinking the guy behind him was joking.

"It sure is!" I called back.

The person at the bow began to sense there was something amiss. The poor guy looked over his shoulder to see that he was the only clothed person in his canoe. Apparently, a fifteen-foot vessel was not large enough for him to be sitting in front of a naked redneck in the middle of nowhere. He started paddling as though he could make his end of the canoe outrun the back end.

Every now and then I spy an article in an outdoor magazine that mentions, in brief, the interest people have in nude recreation. People have hiked the Appalachian Trail with nothing but their boots and socks on, rappelled wearing nothing but their harnesses and I've even heard of naked skydiving! It would surprise you some of the things people do naked, but who hasn't gone skinny dipping?

In broaching the subject of nude recreation, I hear people say, "Sorry, but there are some people I don't want to see naked." Come on now. How many of us really look like Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach or Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush? Why should the

fun be relegated to the beautiful? Goddess or gremlin, we all need some sun. Some more than others.

Let me point out that in many areas, recreational or not, nudity is illegal. This is where the American Association for Nude Recreation comes in. I met some representatives of this organization two years ago at a convention in Denver, Colo. They were very cordial, professional, open and dedicated to making nude recreation socially acceptable. They candidly explained that the AANR works to ensure both freedom and access to nature in clothing-optional locations. To this end, they work through educational, professional and political means to promote the validity of nudity as a means of recreation.

In view of a potential fine and the potential reactions of those unexpectedly encountered, why do some people prefer their recreation sans apparel?

I've heard it referred to as a "baptism into nature." Our entire body is one big sensory organ. We never experience anything as much as when we throw our whole selves into it. The person who watches a DVD about Mt. Hood won't know the emotions of the person who climbs it. The person who walks beside Opal Creek won't know the exhilaration of the person who jumps in it. The person who hikes into the Grand Canyon won't feel the same intimacy as doing so without the inhibition of clothing

I think it's like being on a road trip and turning a corner to see the most spectacular view spread out in front of me. The first thing I do is roll down the window. Then I start looking for a place to pull over, leave the car and stare uninhibited at the beauty before me. Maybe it's also like looking into the face of someone I find truly beautiful, someone I truly want to know. I naturally want to reach out and touch them, to remove the inhibition of silence that separates use.

It's about removing inhibitions. The window glass between me and the view inhibits what I want to see clearly. The distance between you and that person inhibits what you want to hold. So the reaction is to stop and reach out. At this point I am reminded of how many beautiful opportunities we have every day, in the faces of the people we pass. We allow too many inhibitions to keep us from reaching out and seeing each other clearly.

It seems we are so tightly clothed and constricted by so many things that we maintain a glass of social indifference between us and the lives of others. I am not suggesting that we should all be required to walk around naked, but if we could simply stop and reach past our inhibitions once or twice, we'd find that the next person is just as human as we are. In truth, clothing doesn't make the man, because the human is underneath.

Skinny dippers unite!

European Sex Vacation Ideas for Gay Men

We have been having a discussion on Dudesnude about this topic. Because the board posts eventually disappear after a few weeks, I wanted to save this one in my blog.
======> Teens at nude beach at Cap d'Agde, France (see photo on the right below).

I want to plan a summer european vacation with sex as the main attraction...I've already done most of the touristy things. Where are the great places to go (cities and clubs) that have the horniest insatiable men? I am planning on at least a couple of weeks so multiple places would be great. Tell me about your hottest experiences.

Subject: Re: sex vacation ideasPoster: Troika  Date: 27 Apr 2006, 14:14
Berlin should be one your main stopovers... the city IS sex - why the hell you think I'm here? :) It has some of the most  relaxed drinking laws in western europe, has tons of sex bars, most of which have darkrooms as big as the bar area itself, several gay areas, bars stay open until very early, and some are even 24 hour... you HAVE to come to Berlin if you want an action packed european sex vacation.


My number one recommendation: Berghain... Dance club that's mixed, but mainly gay, with large sex areas, open almost the entire weekend... you can party from midnight Saturday to late evening Sunday non-stop -- if you can handle it!

My "can't miss" destination for sex is Paris - innumerable places, both semi-private (bars, clubs) and fully public (along the banks of the Seine at Tata Beach, at Les Sablieres, the Bois du Bolougne , and I could go on and on and on....)And of course, it's still Paris, so plenty of non-sexual optionsThen you're also just a relatively short train ride from all the other great European cities (London, Amsterdam, etc.)

I have to second Troika on Berlin. I was there a year ago for ten days. On my first night I was in a backroom bar and within an hour I had three hot guys in my apartment naked on my bed. The city is hot! I'll be in Munich this summer and Munich gay pride will be happening the week I'm there so I'm assuming things will be steamin' hot.

Berlin - yes. Hamburg too, plus Cologne, Munich and Frankfurt. German gay scene has lots of leather-type bars with loads of darkroom action and the guys are generally hot, friendly and HUNG! Don't forget Amsterdam, one of my favourite cities, and try any of the bars on the Woermestraat. In Spain, definitely recommend a visit to Sitges, just down the coast from Barcelona. Then of course London which has a lot of hot venues, and even Birmingham where I live, which has Boots bar and several raunchy saunas. I've had lots of encounters in all these places plus others round the world. Recommend you get a copy of Spartacus, mate.

Berlin is definitely a must....(have been there before) it is a very sexual city. I do check the Spartacus guides everytime I go...but they are a little too general in their descriptions....any clubs that are not to be missed?.....I am sure there are more cities out there that should be brought to everyone's attention. Are there any special days or special local events that make them even better? BTW thanks for the advice guys.

Don't forget about London and of course Amsterdam - g-sex in the city (with either of them having much to offer besides). I am partial to Munich - because of Englishergarten (open air nude section of the park with lots of gay men).                    
               
           

In other threads on this travel section, we're talking about Gran Canaria (nude and also pretty hot sex both in the dunes and in some of the bars). I find the south of France to be hot enough -- cities from Herault through to Riviera have lots of places (sex clubs/bars with backroom).

I enjoyed good sex in Portugal -- Tavira (small town in rural setting that has a cruisy gay and nude beach) and there are gay beaches near Lisbon. Czech's Prague would also be a great place for sex and a wonderful tourist site too and I would love to go back to Budapest -- tons of hot men - the Turkish baths and Hungarian baths can be cruisy.  It depends on what turns you on. I found it scintillating to be given a oil massage in a Turkish bath -- especially since the masseur seemed to enjoy getting my cock aroused and turning me over to 'show off' my erection to other men. Hey.. to each his own -- Berlin is likely to be the capital for hardcore -- a kind of fist and fury type of gay sex.

In Amsterdam, the "Horsemen and Knights Club" of big dicked dutch men, host a 'public' sex party the THIRD Sunday of each month at the CockRing Disco bar/club on Warmoestraat (near the Red Light district). Doors open at 3 PM, then close at 4 PM. Party lasts usually until 7 or 8 PM. Always a hot time - lots of VERY hung men show up from all over.....the party takes over all 3 floors of the club.

Berlin is just a must - I live here now and lots of fun. Public places are big here and you can be nude at the Tiergarten, a hot place and all the bars. For younger boys I think Amsterdam and Amman are good, although Jodan is the best place.
